Free Crafts, Craft Projects and Patterns
 This week, we offer new nature crafts to help you celebrate spring, three new-to-us knitting patterns, (two of which are circa 1922) ... and even the chance, if you are so inclined, to set a new trend. Curious? Read on, click on the pages that interest you most, then come back to AFC for more leisurely browsing whenever you have the time and the inclination.
That's the beauty of AFC - unlike craft magazines in print, there's no cover charge. And you never need worry where you put a particular issue containing that special project that you've been meaning to try. It's all right here...over 900 pages of free crafts, patterns and projects, organized into sections and searchable via the Google search box found throughout the site. Enjoy!
New Knitting Patterns
Two captivating vintage knitting patterns plus a new original design.
 French Blouse
Vintage 1922 knitting pattern with a high collar and purl detail on the shoulders. |  Wool Tuxedo
1922 sweater coat uses a striking pattern of earth-toned, colored stripes. |  Shazam Scarf
A stunning, original knitted scarf design of subtle zigzags and optional beading. |
So Sew! Simple Sewing Projects
Easy, but very practical, new sewing projects.
 Clothes Pin Mouse
Use our printable pattern to make felt mouse parts, plus a scrap fabric dress and hat. The only sewing is a hand basting stitch to gather the dress neck and cap.
|  Doggie Bag Tote
If you buy dog food in large bags, here's your chance to set a trend; we've all seen bags made from chip bags, juice boxes and the like - but AllFreeCrafts is the first to offer these directions for you to make some extra roomy, remarkably sturdy, Doggie Bag totes! |
 Dust Busters
Give your spring cleaning a boost: turn a yardstick into a handy duster for under the stove, or recycle old towels into washable covers for a dust mop or broom. | |
Share the Love of Crafting
 I'm thoroughly enjoying the hints, tips and interactions that have come so far from our new Add a Comment feature. This week, I added it to our nature section, and already people are discussing the best ways to attract and feed hummingbirds - and I also found out in a big hurry when the Printer Friendly script failed to work. All to the good, of course, because then I was able to fix it quickly too!
There's an open invitation for you to check out the Allfreecrafts Yahoo Group for craft links, pattern searches, and craft-related chat. Our interests encompass all manner of crafts, so if you are crafty in any way, you are most welcome to join us.
